Hull City head coach Nigel Adkins has admitted the Tigers have watched Celtic winger Lewis Morgan ahead of a potential move this month.

Morgan has struggled for game time since leaving St Mirren for Scottish champions Celtic in January 2018 and has so far been restricted to just nine substitute appearances in the Premiership.

As such, according to reports north of the border, Bhoys boss Brendan Rodgers is keen on seeing the 22-year-old leave Celtic Park on loan this month and City are one of the clubs said to be interested in taking him on loan, alongside his former club St Mirren, Hibernian, Birmingham City and Sunderland.

Adkins has previously admitted the Tigers are searching for a winger in order to provide cover for talismanic duo Kamil Grosicki and Jarrod Bowen, but could Morgan be their man?

“We’ve had a look at a lot of players in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and obviously Lewis is one,” Adkins told BBC Humberside, when asked about rumours linking the club to Morgan. “Celtic have brought two or three players in forward-wise.

“He’s a young lad and did really well at his previous club but that wasn’t in the top level of Scottish football.

“Young lad, dynamic winger, he’s exciting to watch. Will that happen with us, will that happen with another football club?

“I’m sure his agent’s going to be working very hard to get him somewhere.”

After making his debut for St Mirren three days before his 18 birthday, Morgan impressed at an early age in Paisley, scoring 23 goals in two seasons before completing a move to Celtic in January 2018.

Morgan was loaned back to the Championship side for the second half of last season, but has struggled to impress in green and white this campaign.

The winger, who plays predominantly on the left but can play on the right or through the middle, has also caught the eye of Alex McLeish with the Scotland boss rewarding Morgan for his fine form at St Mirren with two caps in the summer.
